A&M Consolidated High School senior Elizabeth Garrett won a $1,000 scholarship Friday night at the Crosstown Showdown Kick for College Cash. Garrett successfully kicked a 10-yard field goal to win the scholarship at the football game between the A&M Consolidated Tigers and College Station Cougars at Cougar Stadium. The Kick for College Cash was sponsored by the CSISD Education Foundation. Garrett and College Station senior Andres Martinez-Salazar each had one opportunity to kick a field goal for a chance to win $1,000 toward college or vocational school expenses. Garrett and Martinez-Salazar registered for the contest and were selected to represent their respective schools. Both students also received a $100 Visa gift card courtesy of H-E-B Tower Point. “This event is a fun way to celebrate our students and shine a spotlight on their futures,” said Amy Heye, executive director of the CSISD Education Foundation. “We’re excited to give two students the chance to earn scholarship money while celebrating the school spirit that makes CSISD so special.” Established in 1999, the College Station ISD Education Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization. The Foundation supports nearly 14,000 students and 2,000 teachers and staff across 19 campuses.
